Barwon Beyond Blue Fundraiser and Mental Health Awareness Day

This week Barwon House ran their annual Barwon Beyond Blue Fundraiser and Mental Health Awareness event. On Thursday during lunchtime the fundraising auction was held. Many staff kindly donatated items for auction and all items were sold in an entertaining auction. The record sale was a box of incredible home made cupcakes from Amanda Tenney fetching $101.00. The buyer was David Allitt who fought off stiff competition from Julianna Garcia and Jamilla Cranny.

Many students and staff had a lot of fun bidding on a variety of items and supporting the cause.

On Friday students accessorized for the day by wearing blue hair spray or blue ribbons in their hair. During lunchtime the BBQ was fired up and the school community was treated to musical performances from RJ Love & Faith Grima as a duet and Alex Aidt playing a DJ set. Special thanks to those performers and Matt Crowe setting the music up, Dave Allitt and Ben Fergusson from the Barwon House Office, Barwon Student Leaders Johnny Lazic, Alannah Gorski, Acacia Vaughan, Chloe Rutter, Chloe Van Krieken and Mariele Go.

The auction and gold coin donation raised an amazing $605. Well done GHS.
